Austin Dillon and the Dow SILASTIC Silicone Elastomers Team Notch Top-15 Finish at Las Vegas Motor Speedway "We fought hard all day today. We just didn't have enough speed to really fight with those guys up front. I fought to stay on the lead lap at the end of the first stage, and was fortunate to get the lucky dog. It just seemed like a battle all day long."

VICTORY LANE INTERVIEW: “We have definitely had three good race cars with the Xfinity Car and the Cup car and we had a good race car at Daytona as well and got caught up in a wreck. As you look at the last two weeks and our 1.5-mile program in general it has been really good since I started here at SHR. They put a lot of effort into everything we do from every standpoint to get these cars going like they are. I have to thank everyone from Stewart-Haas Racing, Gene and Tony, it is fun to have them here when we win. Everybody who helps put this thing on the race track, we couldn’t do it without them. And the fans for coming out to the racetrack today. We really appreciate you all coming out. It is always fun for me to win on the west coast and I didn’t have a lot of luck here until I came to SHR. It is great to win on the west coast for me.”

Paul Menard – No. 21 Motorcraft Ford Fusion – Finished 9th - TALK ABOUT YOUR RUN TODAY: “Just a solid day for the Motorcraft Ford Fusion. A great weekend for us. We unloaded fast on Friday and fell behind a bit on Saturday. We all got together last night and talked about what we needed to do and it worked out for us. A solid car all day.”

Kyle Larson was Chevrolet’s highest-finishing Camaro ZL1 in Sunday’s Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series (MENCS) race at Las Vegas Motor Speedway (LVMS) ending the day with a third-place finish.

KYLE LARSON, NO. 42 CREDIT ONE BANK CAMARO ZL1 – FINISHED 3RD: A GOOD EFFORT FOR YOU, BUT IS THERE ONE PLACE IN PARTICULAR YOU FEEL LIKE YOU GUYS COULD HAVE BEEN A LITTLE BIT BETTER TO CATCH THAT FORD? “I don’t know about catching the Ford (Kevin Harvick, race winner). He was quite a bit faster than everybody. But I felt like for the most of the day we were second or third best. I had to fight pretty hard there after a few bad pit stops. But, it’s nice that we have really fast race cars. If we can just clean up everything, I think we’ll be a contender for more wins. We’re not too far off from a win, I don’t think. We’ve just got to keep working hard and keep fighting to get our Credit One Bank Chevy into Victory Lane.”

Ryan Blaney started eighth and finished fourth in the No. 22 Fitzgerald Glider Kits Ford Mustang. Blaney finished 5th and 2nd respectively in the two stages today.
